ObjectDock - adds minimized tabs to windows taskbar when adding a program to the dock?

from Stardock Forums

Whenever I add a new program to the ObjectDock dock by dragging it on, a minimized task is always added to my Windows taskbar which slows down the computer something awful.  How do I prevent this from happening?  I've had to uninstall the program twice but every time I reinstall, it happens again.  Help please?!?

I'm a bit confused. When you drag a short cut onto the dock a program opens in minimized windows settings? Is this the plus version or the free version and what OS are you using?

Also if it help to show it can you post a screen shot?

Yes Pixeleo, a minimized window in the Windows taskbar. 

I'm using Windows XP, free version of ObjectDock.  No idea why it does this.

So if you drag an icon from you desktop into ObjectDock it is opening that app and displaying it in your Windows taskbar?

If you close that app does it stay in your dock?

Or you might accidently have clicked it after dragging it? But this can't happen every time....

What ObjectDock version? I mean, it's the Free one, but is it the latest one? The latest one is 1.9 Build 536u, I think.
